A humanitarian or peacekeeping operation refers to military actions aimed at providing humanitarian aid or assistance during foreign disasters, or supporting peacekeeping efforts as outlined in the United Nations Charter. These operations are distinct from routine military activities such as training, force rotation, or stationing troops in a specific location.
This term is primarily used in international law and military law. Humanitarian and peacekeeping operations often involve collaboration between military forces and humanitarian organizations to deliver aid in crisis situations. Legal frameworks governing these operations may include international treaties and conventions, as well as national laws that regulate military engagement. Users may find relevant legal forms for authorizing or documenting such operations through resources like US Legal Forms.

One example of a humanitarian operation is the deployment of military personnel to provide disaster relief after a natural disaster, such as an earthquake, where aid is needed urgently. A peacekeeping operation example could be a United Nations mission where military forces are deployed to maintain peace in a conflict zone (hypothetical example).
